Nvidia's new graphics cards are very expensive in Japan

Store pricing from Tokyo reveals Nvidia RTX 50-series GPUs running significantly above US retail levels, driven by memory shortages and massive AI compute demand.

Reports suggest production shifts toward data center hardware are squeezing high-end consumer stock.


Retail prices for the RTX 50 series models have increased by 5,66% to 41,1% compared to Amazon prices in the United States. The RTX 5060 Ti model has seen the largest increase in the published image.

What is the reason for the tightness in the market?

The market is facing pressure from a shortage of memory chips and huge demand for artificial intelligence equipment. At the same time, there are reports that Nvidia plans to stop production of its top-of-the-line RTX 5090 model in order to focus on parts intended for enterprise customers and data centers.

The situation in the USA and Japan

The top-of-the-line model has disappeared from online stores in the United States, with independent sellers asking nearly $10.000 for it. The model was completely missing from the photo from Japan, indicating that stores no longer have any stock available.
